He liked to perch at eye level on a trellis a few condos away

The one where he swallows him is cute

Isn't the nest amazing

He dives deeply and can stay down for a long time

He looks exactly like the wood snag he sits on

This Peregrine Falcon stopped eating its gull to take a look at our busload of people

Low in the reeds and difficult to capture

yet altitudes not over about 5

It felt like flying

but smaller and with a pointed bill

but very busy carrying in good sized sticks for their new nest

Sanderlings are known for running away from waves at the beach
